It made all the difference ! Looking good.
Blue hands match these pilot watches the best.

I always like blue hands, on sports or dress watch.

yes... but because of we are in malaysia... a super humid country.... becareful with blued hands....
cheaply painted blued is better sometimes...
flame blued may get rust! if it is not properly handled....

because after blued in owen or flame.... it will be soaked into flax seed oil to hv the think layer of protection....
but if any time if it accidently touch by watch maker.... it may get rusty in place like malaysia easily...

Flamed blue hands.. hmmm... does this apply to blue screws too as they are heated / "flamed" to make them blue color.

yes.... as long as it is real steel.... flame/heat blued will need very good attention while handling it....
no blued steel should be touched by human hand....
